Question

If the amperage in your electrolysis cell were increased by a factor of 2, what effect would this have on the time required to produce the same amount of hydrogen?

3 If the amperage in your electrolysis cell were increased by a factor of 2, what effect would this have on the time required to produce the same amount of hydrogen? ? Electrolysis of an NaCl solution with a current of 2.00 A for a period of 200 s produced 59.6 mL of Cl2 at 650 mm Hg pressure and 27 °C. Calculate the value of the Faraday's Constant from these data. 5 Why are different products obtained when molten NaCI and aqueous NaCI are electrolyzed? Predict the products in each case.

Explanation / Answer

The amount of charge transferred during electrolysis can be calculated from the mean current used and the time taken:

charge, Q =    current, I × time, t

(coulombs, C) (amperes, A) (seconds, s)

Hence it is clear that when current is doubled, time will be halved
